On June 2nd, 2024, the Blake Pottle Foundation held its 3rd annual Opt Outside to Fight Cancer 5k at Meadowbrook Farm in North Bend, WA. This was a testament to the enduring spirit and impact of Blake Pottle, the inspiration behind this meaningful event.
The Opt Outside to Fight Cancer was first launched in 2022, conceived as a way to celebrate Blake's contagious passion for the outdoors and his unwavering fight against cancer.
At just 38 years old, Blake was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer, but he faced this devastating diagnosis with unparalleled intention, hope, and faith. Though he ultimately did not find a medical cure, Blake's legacy of resilience, optimism, and compassion lives on through the work of the Foundation that bears his name.
He fought in the same way he lived his life, with intention and relentless hope and faith. Complaints were rare, his sense of humor was vibrant and his optimism rarely waned. Although Blake did not find a medical cure here, his spirit lives on, and we believe he found the answers and the clarity he needed. His life and his battle with cancer inspired so many around him and through his search for purpose, we have found ours.
The Blake Pottle Foundation provides funding, awareness, and support to those affected by cancer. The Foundation identifies opportunities to partner with healthcare and community organizations to further cancer research, prevention and detection with an overarching goal of making a lasting impact in the fight against cancer.
A cancer diagnosis can be a devastating experience, and those that are fighting cancer are met with so many obstacles. Understanding this first-hand, the organization provides direct support to families that face the challenges that only a cancer diagnosis can bring. Cancer is an experience shared by so many, and the Blake Pottle Foundation will bring hope and support to those that need it most.
